I Had Went To The Hospital 3 Days Ago To

Question: I had went to the hospital 3 days ago to get a huge abscess lanced under my right armpit. A student doctor performed the procedure and she cut it and squeeze no pus only blood, she cut same spot deeper no puss, she cut again same spot nothing just blood pouring out. Doctor was not supervising so he didnt realize how large or deep the incision was he told her to not pack it or drain it that the abscess puss will come out over time. As you can Imagine this large incision cause A LOT of bleeding they sent me home with taped gauze on it. To make a long story short I nearly bleed to death I had to rush to another hospital and they stitched me up. 3 stitches later and after an hour or so the bleeding stopped. The thing is I still have my abscess now it’s and abscess with stitches over it. I need to go back in a couple days to get the stitches out and the abscesses re lanced. First question is could she have cut into the wrong spot of the abscess which caused it not to drain pus? Is it even an abscess? And my last problem is the last day my gauze and bandages have been filled with blood coming out from the stitches, the hard lump still feels the same so I don’t think it’s that, could it be just a clot that is pushing through?

Hi I don’t think it was an abscess either. Today is day 6 and I have an appointment with my family doctor to get stitches out in the morning. The last few days I have been changing my bandages more frequently and the lump was still there not as large as it was when I first went in. So tonight I decided to massage it to see what would happen by tomorrow because my stitches were bulging. Every time I would press it, jt looked like something solid was trying to push through. So I pushed again and this thing popped out. It’s soft but firm, I really can’t explain what it could be but it’s a solid piece. I will attach photo I added it under reports.
